IIRC GNOME removed support for snaps from gnome-software so this was the only way forward.



According to git, gnome-software snap support still seems to be actively developed: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/commits/mast...


It's not true. GNOME Software still ships Snap plugin. It's Canonical that decided to fork gnome-software and provide it under different name without competition plugins enabled.


No. Canonical absolutely has the resources to make an appstore that supports all three package formats (dpkg, flatpak, snap).
